Brewery Planner, Second Edition: A Guide to Opening and Running Your Own Small Brewery5 reviews
Brewers Publications

Brewers Publications, 1996

More than I had hoped for.

+ Good book to get started
+ Its helpful!

An in-depth look into what it takes to open your own brewery or brewpub. Much more than I had dreamed of, and well worth the 60-odd bucks. It is put together like a text-book, broken into the various chapters/steps in opening. Not a good book for those who want light reading about brewing. I ...

George Fix

Brewers Publications, 2000

Excellent technical coverage

+ Excellent - improved over 1st Edition

This is a fairly technical discussion of the subject of brewing chemistry. It's probably more than your typical home-brewer will want to get into, but if you've got some biochem background, or have read Dr. Lee Janson's Brew Chem 101 book and are looking to read on from there, (or you're a very ...
